OKX Ventures partner Jeff Ren hosted the Aptos Experience roundtable forum, focusing on the development potential of Web3 in the Asia-Pacific region

OKX Ventures partner Jeff Ren was invited to attend the "Aptos Experience" event on September 5, 2024, and hosted a roundtable forum on the theme "APAC's Investment Potential & Key Drivers for Adoption."

The roundtable forum brought together industry leaders including Mo Shaik, CEO and co-founder of Aptos Labs, James Zhang, founder of Jambo, and Vincent Park, head of investments at IRONGREY, to discuss the growth and development of the Web3 ecosystem in the Asia-Pacific region.

Key highlights of the roundtable forum include:

1) Importance of Strong Infrastructure: Roundtable members, represented by popular blockchains like Aptos, emphasized the evolution of Web3 infrastructure. They pointed out in the discussion that strong infrastructure is crucial for growth at the application layer, citing projects like Jambo Phone and OKX Web3 Wallet as examples.

2) Connecting Web2 and Web3: Jambo's innovative launch of a $99 Web3 phone for the Southeast Asian market has become an excellent case of bringing Web2 users into the Web3 ecosystem through convenient hardware and pre-installed Web3 applications.

3) Developer Engagement: Aptos Labs' strategy of actively engaging with young Korean developers, communities, and students has proven to be a successful model for driving regional innovation and technology application.

4) Integration of AI and Web3: The roundtable discussed the potential synergies between AI and Web3 technologies, emphasizing the necessity of decentralized and secure data access. The discussion also touched on AI's potential in content generation and considered related regulatory issues.

5) Regional Focus: IRONGREY's strategy of investing in infrastructure and application layers demonstrates the potential of the Asia-Pacific region, with expectations for more Web3 innovations to emerge in the area in the future.

Prior to this event, OKX Ventures and the Aptos Foundation had just announced the launch of a $10 million fund aimed at supporting the growth of the Aptos ecosystem and the large-scale adoption of Web3. Earlier this year, OKX Ventures also partnered with Jambo to enhance the accessibility of the digital economy in emerging markets by combining advanced Web3 technology with mobile technology.

The Aptos Experience is an immersive Web3 event focused on showcasing the development of the Web3 ecosystem centered around the Aptos blockchain. For more information, please visit https://aptosfoundation.org/events/aptos-experience.
